Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/0xJacky/nginx-ui/issues/131

Describe the bug
after a fresh install on IONOS ubuntu 22.04 os i get this error on log when i go to the ui :
ERROR router/middleware.go:29 runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
from what i could see this unhandled error happens because something else returns an error, so i know that solving this error will not solve my problem, but it prevents me from having the right message allowing me to understand the real mistake

To Reproduce

Install nginx-ui with quick script
make the recover() function in the middleware file return an error

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of the error

Screenshots

Info (please complete the following information):

Server OS: Ubuntu 22.04
Server Arch: amd64
Nginx UI Version: 1.9.9-4
Your Browser: Firefox

Hi, this issue was resolved in v2.0.0 beta. I can explain why it was throwing a runtime error. It was caused by the auto-cert goroutine, which was trying to access the db pointer. However this pointer could be nil until you visit <your_domain>/install to install nginx-ui. Thus, the recovery function will print this error in the console.

In v2.0.0, I have enhanced the recovery function, and now it can be able to print the call stack if a panic occurs.
And also, in v2.0.0 the auto-cert goroutine will not start until you install the nginx-ui via <your_domain>/install.
